Postdoctoral fellow Mike Lodato was awarded the Kreig Cortical Explorer award by Cajal Club President Arturo Alvarez-Buylla. The leadership of the Cajal Club recognizes an outstanding neuroscientist studying the cerebral cortex and selected Mike as this year's winner for his work furthering our understanding of somatic mutations in the human brain. Mike feels extremely honored to receive this award from such a distinguished group, and is very thankful for the support from his family of his science, for the incredible group of collaborators he has had the fortune to work with while a member of the Walsh lab, and the fantastic mentorship and opportunities he continues to receive from his advisor Christopher Walsh.
